"You don't." Desmond said rolling his eyes. "Never had to face the consequences of his actions this personally before, good or otherwise. Until you showed up him having kids was something he may have only thought of intellectually, he'd be stupid not to, but now here you are, saving his life, and as much as you dont care about it, and as much as he thinks he doesn't, he does. He can't help it, he's too good of a man to not care really despite his, frankly, criminal character. He'll leave you alone if you ask, quite happily, but you can't stop him from feeling what he's feeling. If he somehow magically became a young man again, he'd probably go on about his usual lifestyle, He's Nick, its what he does, but he'd probably dial back on being as loose with women from now on. The thought will be in the back of his mind from now on, might make him better in the long run, who knows."

"Oh and about Demon and the dating, just... Don't. Trust me on that. Let her do that in her own time in her own way, nudge her, certainly, but dont hook her up. She's the opposite of Nick in that respect."
